Strong Arms Saturday!

This Strong-Arms-Saturday is brought to you by canyon hiking outside Palm Springs. I know I have already done a few posts on our slot canyon hiking and Palm S prings trip, but I have one last thing to post. A strong-arms gif. This was the last rope to climb to get out of the canyon. The ropes were tattered and wor n, but provided just enough support along with hol es in the rocks to climb out. It was fairly easy to climb up, but climbing down that rope was a trick! It was scary too. Lo wering yourself by a tattered rope into a dark canyon when you can't see behind you is NOT easy. I can't say I ever want to do that again. What exciting things do you have planned for Saturday? Feel like snapping a picture of your own Strong-Arms-Saturday , send me a picture and I'll post it:  E-mail Me!

After sifting through a lot of information we ended up settling on a trail that Andy picked. Andy had found a rough map along with some written directions for a trail into a slot canyon that we would be hiking. (I honestly don't know where he found the trail information, but I don't think it was from the visitors center or the hotel.) The next morning we woke up at the crack of dawn and left for our slot canyon hiking adventure. We found our way to a dirt road that said 4 wheel drive cars only...oops, we weren't driving a 4wd but took the road anyway. Luckily it wasn't too bad. At the end of the dirt road were huge rocks and...

This Strong-Arms-Saturday is brought to you by slot canyons and desert hiking outside of Palm Springs. We were in Palm Springs last weekend and did some pretty amazing slot canyon hiking. The canyons are cool in contrast to the hot desert, so it was a good Saturday option for us. What exciting things do you have planned for Saturday?
